    1There was a man from the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Micah.

    2He said to his mother, 'The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse and even spoke it in my hearing—look, the silver is with me; I took it.' And his mother said, 'May the LORD bless my son!'

    3Then he returned the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said, 'I hereby consecrate this silver to the LORD for my son, to make a carved image and a cast idol. I will now return it to you.'

    4So when he returned the silver to his mother, she took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to a silversmith, who made them into a carved image and a cast idol. And they were placed in Micah's house.

    5Now this man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and household idols, and he consecrated one of his sons to become his priest.

    6In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

    7There was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah, from the family of Judah. He was a Levite, and he was residing there temporarily.

    8The man left the city of Bethlehem in Judah to find a place to stay. He traveled until he reached the hill country of Ephraim and came to Micah's house as part of his journey.

    9Micah asked him, 'Where are you coming from?' He replied, 'I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I am traveling to find a place to stay.'

    10Micah said to him, 'Stay with me and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, a set of clothes, and your living expenses.' The Levite agreed to stay.

    11The Levite agreed to live with the man, and the young man became like one of his own sons.

    12Micah ordained the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in Micah's house.
